"A video presentation showing the work of local journalists and the challenges they face"

stone me ! the mind boggles

If there was one group in Pattaya that doesn't deserve a pat on the back it has to be the press - and then to cover it and report it, including the newly 'elected' mayor's attendence, in one of their own papers !!!!

It beggars belief and I'm struggling to come up with a suitable phrase to capture my disdain and disgust. All the usual adjectives and phrases seem inadequate - what would Lord Leveson make of this sorry lot ????
